NBC4 has not confirmed any Central Ohio locations closing. The company cited tax legislation that will help it save money, but the moves also reflect the tight labor market in which employers are competing for workers.

While the White House was complimenting Walmart for using this country's new lower tax rate to give pay increases and bonuses to workers, customers were finding some Sam's Club locations closed with no notice. Besides that, according to Business Insider, all of the stores slated for closure were scrubbed from the Sam's Club website this morning.

The one-time bonus employees will receive will be proportional to the amount of time each individual has spent with the company, up to $1,000. "Now, they will be eligible for 10 weeks of maternity leave at 100 percent pay and six weeks of parental leave at 100 percent pay".

Although Wal-Mart's move lifts its overall starting US wage from $10 an hour (after workers take a training course), the increase matches what's already the minimum wage in California.
